Saving Your Searches

You may search the catalog while still signed in to My Library. To do this, click on the "Search Catalog" button on your patron record. This will display the main catalog search screen but with the phrase "You are logged in to your My Library account at The University of Tulsa as" at the top of the screen along with two buttons. The "Logout" button will sign you out of My Library and return you to the main catalog screen where you may continue to search anonymously. The "My Library" button will take you back into your My Library patron record screen.

One advantage of searching the catalog while you are in My Library is that you may save searches for running at a later time. To do this, perform a search on a topic or author of interest in the catalog. When the search results display on the screen, you will notice a button to the right of the search box marked Save this Search. If you click on this button the current search will be saved in your My Library account where you may access it any time you log in.

In My Library, the searches you've saved are called "Preferred Searches". To access them, click on the Preferred Searches link on My Library screen. The computer will then display a list of all the searches you have saved.

The list of searches indicates the type of search (e.g. AUTHOR, TITLE, SUBJECT, WORD, etc.) followed by the search terms used. These are hyperlinked. Click on the link and the catalog will run the search for you again.

If you encounter any problems, please contact the Circulation Desk at 918-631-2873 or send the library an e-mail.
